The ad is called ‘Limburger,’ a cheese known for its pungent odour

The Lincoln Project, an anti-Trump PAC, released a foul ad doubling down on allegations that former president Donald Trump smells.

Claims around the former president’s alleged odour erupted earlier this week when former Illinois Republican representative Adam Kinzinger tweeted, “I’m genuinely surprised how people close to Trump haven’t talked about the odor. It’s truly something to behold. Wear a mask if you can.”

The Lincoln Project seized upon the resulting social media firestorm with a video advertisement on Saturday, with the caption: “Is that you Donald? #TrumpSmells.”

    Also, I don’t think they believe he wears makeup. Ex’s mom believed his tan was natural. You’re right that they won’t really believe or care, but I don’t really think it’s about convincing his voters at this point.

      And they won’t believe that he smells.

      What is the point, exactly? Other than pouring contributions down the toilet for laughs?

      Also, by responding to the criticism, he validates it.
